No need to take any pot shots at this trash in terms of aesthetic efficacy in earnest, if y'all know what I mean. But as an experiment, it's interesting. There seems to be an odd consistency to all of them, which reveals a kind of

I like what you're saying. There's a quote in The Wire, when an ex-cop becomes a teacher in some of the toughest schools. The principal says to the new teacher about to be thrown into the gauntlet, "You need soft eyes."

The real treasure was the weak ties we made along the way. Jokes aside I do agree with you! The little things actually build up to the big things. Trying to insist on the big things via big-things-methods, that somehow forego the little thi

To your point, I've come across many who conflate the 2. Wisdom seems like making good choices for long-term positive outcomes, where there are no rulebooks, lots of uncertainty, and the incentives thrown in your face to act in one dir

In relationships, offloading personal responsibility onto someone else (aka blaming another person for your choices and behaviors and thoughts and actions) is something like projection, blame-shifting, codependency. This makes any healthy r

Reminds me of crypto. A lotta tokens. A lotta gambling. Very little supplanting of crypto from fiat. Very few use-cases that revolutionize society, etc.

My take is: Toxic positivity is just as bad as toxic negativity. Cynicism seems to fall under toxic negativity, in that it presumes negative intent before even finding out if it's true. I think the article suggests being willing to fin

Respect. I'm gonna start using "shitlit" from hereon out. And also, there are people I respect who said they read 100+ books a year, and that you should, too. But while others in my circles were eager to jump on the train, fo

Just make up new titles. Super Senior. Super Senior II. Hyper Senior II Turbo. Super Senior: Ultra Instinct.

My world is richer for reading this. I absolutely can see it. Like Redline meets Cowboy Bebop. Both can be b-side vignettes in a larger futuristic SNES world. Not so sure about Star Fox being in the mix, but not entirely out of the question

I side with this school of thought. Just call the emotions what they are, accept them in the form of not dressing them up and putting some spin on them to make people feel better about themselves (and ultimately dance around the actual emot

Your boss sounds like they have an extremely rigid view of what emotions are and aren't "correct" in any given setting. Sounds controlling, and lacking a fundamental understanding of reality, people, and basic empathy. I don&

Your corn-based pain amuses me, cretin. I'll deign some packets of cane sugar to alleviate your pathetic woes. (Honestly, HFCS prob has wreaked legit havoc via the "death by 1000 papercuts" method.)

Because it's awesome and fun to do. And rare copies will exist for a select few to share to select parties who would absolutely love to experience the contraband underground work.

Never knew about these crucial behind-the-scenes talks. Really interesting to know. Thank you!

To piggyback off of this with a call-to-action against the realities you point out, I think it's absolutely valuable and worth it to go after the aesthetic things that you like even for subjective reasons, and even if prevailing trends

For real. The adherence to this technique needs to be total and absolute, but the situation has to call for an ever-escalating frequency of interruptions from family, work, the government, neighbors, etc. We need some sketch comedians to ge

Make it into an e-sports competition. But rather than try to hype it up like fighting game tournaments, have it be somewhat milder in aesthetics and tone, for the type of crowd it might draw. Like "Best in Show" or "Great Bri

I'm in the "creative" field (aka, visual time-based arts, so to speak, but honestly, it's "work," and in the same vein, every other job is teeming with much-needed creativity that often doesn't get transla

While I was wrestling with personal greed with the crypto mania as a laymen (and I try not to write the whole thing off as bad), his writings were very helpful to get me to see what was drawing me in and what also wasn't sitting well w

I'd be very, very curious to hear viable alternatives to ad supported models, that aren't based on how major companies have been doing it for the past 20 years (or longer?), where they make it free, then sneak in subscriptions, th

I can relate. Might not be exactly this, but it makes me feel similar to why people hate advertising. Which I believe is, people don't like feeling lied-to, and everyone knows that marketers are trying to get in your head to manipulate

There's a saying I heard, which goes a little something like: "You can't use a coping mechanism to heal from an issue/ wound/ trauma. It's basically just replacing one addiction for another." I'm para

To elaborate further on the ideological angle: I've seen folks mention that it's about "the future" in a hand-wavy, abstract, nebulous sense. But their actions demonstrate profiteering, opportunism, and the greater-fool

Wow appreciate it! This really helps. The SP404mkii sounds like a powerhouse and amazing value in comparison to the EP-133 now lol. But I'm def not anywhere near being able to take advantage of either to their full capacity. Thank you

Dang that's good to know. No worries if not, but would you mind giving a broad breakdown between the two?

OK I'm commenting twice and have no affiliations to TE or The Kount. But apparently, The Kount made a buncha sounds for this thing. https://twitter.com/THEK0UNT/status/1727365475976216610 I'm not that go

Can't help but feel it's their gameplan. And I try to remain non-reactive, but I thought it was smart. That toy car looked ridiculous, but not completely out of line with their shenanigans in the past. So it seemed somewhat "

Banksy (I'm neither for nor against him) said something similar (or is said to have said something similar): “The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving
